I'm not entirely sure, if this was brought up to discussion already, but 
would it be reasonable to be able to configure then min and the max 
value in the preferences?
That would allow people to set min and max to the same values and have a 
"static" input area, where the delivered defaults would be 2 to 4 lines.

I personally can live with the auto-resizing, but like Mark I 
ocassionally send larger code snippets or stacktraces and then 4 lines 
are somehow uncomfortable to read them, before sending (e.g to verify if 
I had copied the right portions).

@Mark: If you've put together your script to analyze Pidgins logs, if 
you don't mind, I would like to check my logs too.
